DOPING IN ATHLETICS: Athletics Kenya Needs 'Overhaul'


Moni Wekesa, a professor at the Mount Kenya University Law School in Nairobi, Kenya 

The former head of Kenya's anti-doping task force has called for an overhaul of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) in the wake of the latest allegations about doping in athletics.

BBC reports Moni Wekesa said there needed to be a change of guard in the organization and that it should reign in its affiliates such as Athletics Kenya.

He said the national athletics organization in Kenya had buried its head in the sand about the issue of doping.

Kenya is one of the countries that has been named in the latest media reports.
Athletics Kenya has described the accusations as an attempt to smear and destabilize its squad ahead of the world championships later this month in Beijing.
